baby girl due in 3 days but no name - help!!

[gy300]

I would really value some advice from other mums/mums-to-be on naming my little girl who is due to be born very soon.
I'm looking for a name that is quite unusual but not too strange. This is my list so far:

Freya (is it too popular?)
Annabel - would probably be shortened to Annie
Evany
Verity (too posh? - if there is such a thing!)
Xanthe (would people be able to pronounce it?)
Aura
Ember
Tula

Ds is Finley. Do you think it matters if his sister also has a name beginning with F, or ending with y or ie?

Thanks!

I would chose Verity. Beautiful name.

Finlay and Verity sound fine together.

Don't like Ember, prefer Amber.

I like Annabel from you list, my dd has a friend with this name and either gets Annie or Bel.

Anna is another nice name, not much you can do to shorten it, although children always find a way.

I like Amber too but dp's uncle has a dog called Amber so kind of put us off!

Clemency

Freya and Annabel and Verity are lovely.

Don't know Evany
Aura is not really a name - Aurora might be better?

Ember is a cinder - not sure I like the meaning

Tula is a make of handbags!

Evany is a name but very rare - do you think that this would be a problem?
Very encouraged with how many people like Verity - have not suggested this one to dp yet - I think he may need some major convincing on this one. Already said that he doesn't like Annabel, even though this is my fav at the moment.

verity is lovely

a woman on my ward last month hadn't picked a name before having her baby... it was very funny watching the whole family pouring over the baby names book trying to match a name to the tiny baby

she let her older kids pick in the end as she couldn't decide!

i LOVE tula!

Tula is a brand of handbag.

I'm thinking that that might just happen to us PinkTulips! I have resigned to waiting until bubs is born and hoping that a name will just come to us - this is what happened with ds.
I'm thinking about letting ds choose the middle name (he's 6). He absolutely hates all the names I have chosen and his top fav at the moment is Charlotte - which would probably be fine as a middle name.

in the band n-dubz the female singer is known as Tula, her real name is Tulisa - how about that?
Just thought i would share that with you

I adore Xanthe, and like Annabel too

We've got a Verity and we're not posh! No one has ever raised an eyebrow as if to say that we've got illusions of granduer

I think of handbags when I see Tula (sorry!)

Not sure about Ember - sounds sad but I like Amber though.

I know 1 Freya and 1 Tula
Love Annabel, especially shortened to Bella
Like Evany too
Only Verity I know was called 'Ferrety' at school so put me off a bit...

Lola

Those are all nice. I think you will just know when you have her...

I am having my second DD in May. Dd #1 named Emma...thought we were having a boy so picked Cameron and someone said why not that for a girl? Still deciding but maybe?

Also like Isla (pronounced like eye-la)...friend suggested that to me and it is still in my top 5...

Hope that helps! lol

Verity is lovely and def my favourite. Tula means handbags for me too.

I didn't pick names for mine until I met them, you'll know when you look at then what suits them.
Freya, Verity & Xanthe are all lovely but hadn't you better wait and see what coulour hair she has? Xanthe is best for a blonde.

Yes - Xanthe means 'golden blonde'. This is one of the reasons I like the name. DS is blonde and his name is Finely which means 'fair warrior'. Likely that this one will be fair too.
Thanks for all the opinions - think I will wait until baby is born to make final decision.

Annabel is my fave, lovely name, 'normal' without being too popular and lots of shortenings to choose from.

Freya pretty popular, but nice
Annabel - Reminds me of the Baby Annabel Doll
Evany - Havent heard of it before, but quite like it - I wonder if people might find it difficuly to understand when you say it though?
Verity - nice, woundly think of it as being "too posh"
Xanthe - lovely, also Ianthe, which means purple rather than blonde (In case you have a baby with purple hair )
Aura - Havent heard of this as a name before - what about aurora?
Ember - Dont like
Tula - Handbags
